My Iron Lung(Live)- Radiohead |
] |
Hello Journal. It's been a while.
Yesterday was my last final (accounting) and I am brave enough to say I think I aced it. NO school until after Vegas. I have almost two weeks off to sit on my ass and do nothing. Not really nothing, my hemoglobin has dropped to 9 and now I have to go back to another hematologist and a gastrointestinal doctor to check for internal bleeding. Thumbs down.
Today I bought a bomb ass bathing suit for Cancun and some other stuff. It feels so good to have money. Other than that my life is super boring, but isn't boring good sometimes? Boring means no problems, no drama. It's just like standing still and not remembering the earth is rotatling.
This guy I have been talking to is sooo strange. He jocks me and then he deletes me from myspace. I think he is pissed at me because I haven't called him back in a few days (I was sick!) so I email him and in turn, I receive a nice email from him. Lazem to delete me from myspace? It's not that serious.
Now the disturbing confession. I want to make sweet love to Taylor Hicks with strawberry jelly and say who's your soul patrol, bitch? Okay not the last part.
The End.

Johnny Cash- hurt |
] |
Everything was going so well yesterday. I went to Accounting, pimped some questions and scored some candy for answering correctly. Nothing like Runts to motivate you. Then I had the chance to see how I was doing in class, so I built up my courage as I walked to the front of the classroom and peered down at the list of percentages. And just like that, BAM! I saw that I had a whopping 99% as an overall grade in the class. WHAT THE HELL?! Where did that come from? I was sooo excited until I made the deadly mistake of calling my dad. He quickly flushed my goldfish down the toilet when he jommed me. Why does it take so much to make him proud? He doesn't mean to be that way, but he is. He thinks school is a waste of time and money. I guess that's what happens when you work your whole life for where you are now. I just wish sometimes he would be a little bit supportive. I don't know why, but then I started to tear up like a small child. Stupid, I know. I was just so proud of myself and disappointed that my father couldn't share in my enthusiasm.
Anyways, my brothers think I'm crazy because I made Bella cake for her birthday and gave her and my other dog a piece to celebrate. It was raining and I had nothing better to do. So what.
p.s. why is it so hard for me to read the required chapters prior to class?! i seriously think i have add and i need rimadyl.

IS this true? Hardly anyone penetrates my heart? baher.
| Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real" | 
You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love.
You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart.
Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)
Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic
What turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays
Why you're hot: you don't just play hard to get - you are hard to get |

Nina Simone- You've Got to Learn |
] |
I am a busy girl tonight. I spent my night cleaning up a Christmas tree and the wrath it's left behind and right now I am packing to take off to Tahoe in the morning. I am so excited because I will be showing up on the tail-end of a severe winter storm! Fresh snow is so beautiful. My flight lands late Friday afternoon, just in time to spend Friday night out avec mes amis. I've lost so much of my French:( What happens to it?
Bella is so freaking cute. I want to bite her!! She keeps jumping up on the end of my bed and leaning over far enough so that she can barely kiss my face and beg me to get off of my computer. God, I love my dog to pieces.
p.s. i am so obsessed with Nina's "You've Got to Learn," right now. I love this song because it leaves no room for self-pity.

Bizarre Christmas Incident- Ben Folds |
] |
One semester down, about 6 to go. Not really, but something like that. I took my last final today on some computer nonsense. The bad news is my books are ridiculously expensive this semester. My accounting class requires two, YES TWO, books and each one is over $150, not to mention a study guide. That's over $350 just for one class. The other four books are approx $150 to $175 each. Good thing I can cash in at the end of the semester (that's sarcasm there just in case you didn't notice).
I re-visited Disneyland tonight with Oma and Aunt Sheri. My poor grandma is growing up. She is so tough and she refuses to use any kind of walking assistance, but she can't handle walking like she used to. She is in pretty good shape, but I think the mini-stroke she had slowed her down a little bit. We made it to The Nightmare Before Christmas and Winnie the Pooh before retiring. Since when does Disneyland close at 8? Anyways, I LOVE The Nightmare Before Christmas/Haunted Mansion. Why doesn't Disneyland just leave the Haunted Mansion that way permanently? It is 100 times better.
I wish I had someone to celebrate with tonight. I would have loved to go out for margaritas or some kind of mixed drink tonight. I am free for a month! I feel like shouting from rooftops.

Death Cab- Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) |

I just came back from Cari's. I am so happy because I saw my little munchkin. I have to get a Christmas Tree tomorrow. YAY! I love real trees. What is the point of having a fake tree. Please, don't even waste your time ladies and gents.
My favorite part of Christmas is all of the surprises when you wake up. I love waking up to a full stocking and the excitement of not knowing what is beneath all of that perty wrapping paper!
The anticipation is killing me.

Love Actually- The Movie |

One final down, two to go. Three finals is really no big deal, but I will be surprised to see how I do next semester with five classes. Here is my schedule:
Mondays and Wednesdays Tuesdays and Thursdays
Astronomy 10:30-11:50 Economics 101 10:30-11:50
Business Law 12-1:20 Accounting 101 12-2:20
Math 3-4:50
The class that I am especially nervous about is my Business Legal Environment class. Rate my Professor.com says that the professor is good, but the class is extremely hard.

Pretty Girls Make Graves- Blue LIghts |
] |
So many things are happening in my life right now, but none too exciting. Sometimes I feel like I'm on life's freeway and the world is all a blur. Finals are finally here and Christmas is on its way. I am about 9 hours in debt to the math lab, but I think I have come to terms with dropping 9 % (that's one point for every hour I lack) off of my grade. I did get my research paper back and I'm very happy that my hardass teacher gave me a "hefty B" on my research paper. He said that, "a hefty B." This is only surprising because homeboy doesn't give B's out very often. I was supposed to leave for Tahoe on Wednesday afternoon, but I didn't realize that I have a final on Thursday. Plus, I have a Christmas party to go to on the 23rd and I wouldnt' be back in time for the unveiling of everyone's secret santa.
A lot of people probably don't realize this, but life is pretty complicated with no other girl in the house. Without my mother here to take care of normal things, I am left to do a lot more than I normally would. Growing up, I never had chores and I was rarely pressured to clean my room. My mom did it all. She hated us getting involved in housework. Now, it is my job to clean the floors, wash the dishes, get the house ready on holidays, feed the dogs, go grocery shopping. My dad helps out as much as he can too, but my brothers and him live here like this is a bachelor pad. Since when is it my job to wash my brothers and my dad's clothes? I never mind helping out, but I get sick of doing it all.
Tonight, my aunt bought me a disneyland pass as an early christmas present so that I could meet up with Rita, Nachos, and Sonya at Disneyland. At first, it was extremely frustrating because the park was way overcrowded with wall to wall people and NO organization, but by the end of the night I was having a great time. I had fun in fantasyland because it reminded me of being a child. All of a sudden my life was rewound back to age 5 and I was standing in line with pink Mickey Mouse ears on waiting to get on Snow White. I LOVED the Haunted Mansion all decked out Nightmare Before Christmas style. The ride is a million times better that way. I was also so happy that I had someone to ride It's a Small World with me. Rita NEVER goes on that ride with me:( I can't wait to go back.

this is how i feel recently:
Scarred
Your back was turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
I was cold as I mouthed the words
And crawled across the mirror
I wait
Await the next breath
Your name
Like ice into my heart
A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice don't move
Screaming at the moon
Another past time
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Everything as cold as life
Can no one save you?
Everything
As cold as silence
And you never say a word
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Your name
Like ice into my heart
gotta love the cure.

I had so much fun tonight. After waiting for a few hours at the box office, Rita and I scored fourth row tickets. The second the lights went out, we all rushed to the center circle where dave comes out and dances (which was only about FOUR feet from our chairs). Before we knew it, we were leaning on the stage and Dave and Martin would be sweating on us all night. At one point, Dave walked up to a girl to the left of us, held her hand and kneeled down to sing behind the wheel to her. Then he let her sing the "i'm going cheap," line and blew her a kiss as he walked away. For the last song, Dave and Martin came out and did a duet on the stage we were leaning on. I shouted "MARTIN!," along with the other four million people, but I guess because I was right at his side, he turned to me and held my hand and slipped me his guitar pick. Awww. I love him. What an exciting night. I can't believe that Dave is straight. He dances like a pineapple on fire....a hot one at that. Anyways, it was a night to remember and I am so happy I went. :)
p.s. richard blade was standing across from us dancing and singing along. you know you have great seats when richard blade is your neighbor.

Jet- Cold Hard Bitch |
] |
the next 28 hours scare me. why does everything always happen at the same time? i have a japanese crackhead for a teacher in my business writing class who expects us to have a research paper done on tues. JUST so he can look it over before we turn it in because according to him "we are all going to fail". an hour after plunging to my death in my business writing class, there is my cis 111 class. i have 2 spreadsheets due with all of these crazy formulas and an exam on all of this nonsense. but it doesn't end there my friends, over thanksgiving, i will be lucky enough to work on a presentation for business writing. yay! at least it's not a group project. but, my teacher is a total japanese hitler.
let's talk about friday. last week i made a much needed appointment with my hematologist. i am overdue for a set of ten treatments that i was supposed to complete back in june. i had 3 but with my job-quitting nonsense, my insurance changed and it was a mess getting another referral. i tell the trick on the phone that i have a referral and confirm that everything is set to get my infed. i EVEN read off my referral to her telling her that it says "office consultation" and ask her if it is going to be a problem. oh, no she assures me. yeah, okay. once again, i show up to the office and it was a HUGE waste of time because the referral didn't authorize me for treatment, just an office visit. ughk.... one day i will have oxygen carried to my major organs again....
the good news is i had a fun weekend doing barely anything. on friday night i kidnapped jennette so she would see walk the line with me. good movie. i cried. saturday had rita, nachos, shawn, sonya, and i playing pictionary followed by a crazy game of balderdash. i swear i almost peed my pants TWICE. lazem to make it african themed balderdash? and on sunday, i was a homebody with the exception of a trip to target and barnes and noble. i spent the day with my brothers and it was really nice to get along with each other for a change.
will i pass my test? will i finish my homework? will my reasearch paper send me back to business writing for the spring semester? stay tuned...
p.s. bella is like a young child in the morning. when she wakes up, she walks over to you all disoriented and has to be hugged. i heart my doggie.

I'm here! There was a bunch of Turbulence on the plane and I came this close to throwing up. Then we had to drive through thick snow blowing around on the way home. It was a little scary. The cutest thing was Riley's commentary the whole way. I love that little girl.

Just like that I have a ticket into Reno tomorrown night. My aunt & uncle called and they want Cari, Riley and I to fly up and stay with them in Tahoe. My dad is racing this weekend so he is already up there. I'm excited to walk around the lake and there is supposed to be snow this weekend, so we'll see.
On a bad note, I have a research paper that I was planning on working on this weekend. If I don't get it into my crazy teacher for correction before the final turn-in date, I will be screwed.
I talked to one of my friends last night and it made me think. She is such a nice person, but she hangs on to problematic men and by problematic, I don't mean little problems. Why are girls so stupid? They are so desperate to be in love that they cling on to a saling ship. Or maybe I should say a sinking ship? Screw that, if a man is fucked up, I'm not going down on his Titanic.

I just got back from Knott's Scary Farm with Alicia, Rita, Nachos, Shawn and Sonya. We had so much fun scaring Rita because that beeyatch screams everytime something jumps out at her. By 9:30 we had done all of the mazes. My favorite was the Terrorvision maze which included spoofs like "The Fraidy Bunch" or "American Idiot," but the creepiest of all was the condemned house. That house took things a little too far with the dead fetus in the incubator or the Karen Carpenter Bulimia Research Lab. LAZEM? All in all we had fun. The only thing that could have made the night better was a funnel cake. It wasn't worth standing in line, but I do have a strange craving for strawberry jelly. We also watched a show that was pretty much about mind over matter and how you could control your pain. I thought it was going to be simply fun and magic, but it was actually real. Homeboy ate glass, stuck a sharp piece of metal through his arm, and laid on a bed of nails with four macho men standing on him. Oh yeah! AND a gypsy gave me a tarot card reading. It was pretty vague, but there's something about standing in line and hearing the gypsy complalin about lunch breaks that kinda killed the whole reading thing for me.
p.s. my tv (and cable box) just turned off by itself. weird. that is the second time that it has done that this week.

On Thursday, a bunch of us went to the Old Spaghetti Factory and had dinner for Nachos birthday. Then on Friday we went to Dungeon. It's not really my place, but I thought it would be fun to go because it was Nachieli's birthday and how can you knock it until you've tried it.
I did Rita's make up in this one!
The music was so loud and there were girls getting whipped on stage. I'm not innocent and the other girls don't even pay attentiion to that crazy shit, but I found it so disturbing! The best part of the night was bahering. The funniest shit was this girl that was falling out of her clothes. I know that I am a meatball, but this chick was trying to be Britney Spears. She had on a white collared shirt with no bra that her buddha belly was straight up falling out of and then she was wearing a skirt that only covered half of her panties. It looked like she was wearing a diaper! Then Rita was banging on the bathroom door while Nachos was peeing and her drunk ass was yelling "TURD BURGLAR! TURD BURGLAR!". Fadeeha. Some goth bondage chick ran up to use the bathroom and saw Rita yelling turd burglar and yelled "OH MY GOTH!" before running off.
I just got back from The Melting Pot. My aunt took us all out for a "Ladies Night". I had a Vodka-Cranberry. Yummy. I love that place, but it was better the first time we went. It was really nice to see my aunt again. Too bad she is leaving to go back to Tahoe.
The sky looks like it has it's own nightlight here. I don't ever remember seeing so much lightning as I have tonight.

I had a blast at Velvet last night. They played Goldfrapp, Peaches, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, and a lot more great music. When we got there, the security guard busted a short joke on Nachos. We danced and watched the Go-Go girls. A couple of them just shook their ass and could get away with it because they had a good body. Only one of them could really dance, but she would kill it when she bent over so far you could put a telescope in her ass. Nasty hoochie mama. At the end of the night, Sonya met a mustache, Rita got the shakes and Nachos was still short.
Bryan called. We are meeting in front of the library tomorrow morning to go over stuff for our presentation. I am still hoping to hear from Nicole, but I haven't heard from her all weekend. It's going to be suicide tomorrow morning. I hate that class.

Sex and the City- Season Five Disc 2 |

Yesterday Linda and I went to the library to work on some school work. I saw Napolean Dynamite's twin. Why is it when I get the balls to walk up to him and snap a picture right in his face, it doesn't come out? I do it again and still, too dark :(. I am really worried about my group presentation that was thrown on me on Tuesday and is due on Tuesday. That's one week. The part that scares me is my group members aren't exactly involved. Nobody was able to meet prior to Tuesday and now I am stuck dividing up the work and putting together a PowerPoint presentation once I receive everyone's work. I haven't heard back from anyone yet. I hate group projects. Cross your fingers.
Rita, Linda, and I hung out at Nachos and Shawn's last night. We drank a little. Okay, some of us a little (that was me) and some of us a lot (that was rita and nachos). We kicked Rita, Shawn and Linda's ass in Catchphrase. Then we had a dance party and went home.
Tonight I'm going to Velvet!! I love that place.

Heather Nova- Walking Higher |
] |
I was cleaning out my closet this afternoon and I found 4 journals that I had written in over the years. It's so weird to look back at your life and realize that everything in life pretty much works itself out in the end. Anyways, it inspired me to write in my lj.
Last weekend was so much fun. On Friday night I had a chance to live out my childhood dream and see Dolly Parton in concert. She is so freaking cute. I want to be friends with her and pick the banjo while she sings. Thanks to Danny for taking me. We dropped in at French Market to catch up with Raymond and eat dinner, but he wasn't working. Then we drove to Fiesta Cantina to hook up with the g to the lo and Rita. I had a few glasses of wine and was ready to dance when Ricky and everyone else was ready to leave. When we got back to Glo's, Rita and I decided to take off because of nonsense between her and Ricky. We waited out our alcohol at Denny's before Rita drove back to Orange. By the way, Dennys is major ghetto in LA. Only vatos go to Dennys after a night out in LA. I guess in Orange County we all go to Denny's because it is the only place open.
On Saturday, Nachos, Shawn, Rita and I drove down to San Diego. We had no plans, except for eating at Uno's. We took the bridge to Coronado and played by the seaside. Then, we drove around and talked in the sand while Rita checked out the "haunted" Hotel Del Coronado. It was interesting because apparently there had just been a wedding and the groomsmen walked out onto the beach with four huge bunches of balloons. There were notes in the balloons instructing the each person that found them to call the newlyweds so they could see just how far their balloons traveled. I guess I am a nerd because I immediately thought about doing that. We exited the freeway and parked on a hill over looking the landing strip at San Diego Airport. All of us had fun listening to music and watching airplanes fly right over us. Then we managed to get lost in a forest along a scenic route on our way home.
What I love about my family is that we are all so close. I love that I can lay in my dad's room while I am sick because it makes me feel a little bit better. I love that my cousin gets all up in my business simply because I know her doing so means she cares. I love how my Oma turns a family dinner into a family reunion. Just like that my uncle, aunt, cousins are all at my house.
I feel all sentimental right now. I really miss Rosalina. I wonder when she comes back from Mexico. The end.
P.S. I swear I didn't rent Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants tonight.
